中秋吃桂花糕、品桂花酒，自古有之。正因中秋時節桂花盛放，它們成了中秋時人們寵愛的佳肴。聞著陣陣甜香，品嘗桂花糕、桂花酒，也象征這合家團圓、幸福美滿。

It's tradition in China to enjoy osmanthus-flavored cake and wine during Mid-Autumn Festival. They may be preferred because Mid-Autumn Festival is when the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. Enjoying the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and wine also stands for family reunion and a happy life.
